Violation of Probation

If you are facing charges of violating your probation, you need to be aware that those are very serious charges which should never be taken lightly. A probation violation can land you in court facing a conviction with very stiff penalties.

You need to be advised that without the help of a good criminal defender your chances of fighting the charges are very slim. As opposed to other crimes, by definition probation violations are only committed by convicted criminals, so the justice system is already biased against you.

Florida Code 948.06 deals with probation and defines it by the following:

(1)”Administrative probation” means a form of non-contact supervision in which an offender who presents a low risk of harm to the community may.

Upon satisfactory completion of half the term of probation, be transferred by the Department of Corrections to non-reporting status until expiration of the term of supervision.

A violation of probation proceeding is very different than being charged with a new crime, and because the person has already been sentenced to probation, a person has less protection than if they were charged with a new crime.

The conditions of probation all depend on what is worked out with the court and judge. In general, probation means that a person is assigned a probation officer who they must meet with on a regular basis.

This probation officer has the authority to check on them unannounced to ensure that they are not in violation of their probation.

Conditions of probation usually include any of the follow:

Being prohibited from associating with any known criminals

Attending court ordered classes

Attending regular meetings with probation officer

Registering place of residence with the court

Not being able to change residence without permission of the court

There are many other possible requirements of probation, and any failure to carry them out exactly may result in a violation of the probation and can result in having the probation revoked altogether, and or having additional penalties added.

Probation violations are very serious and must be dealt with in a timely manner. If not, they can result in very negative long term consequences.

Mr. Hoffman was able to get my offenses reduces to a lesser degree. His fees are one of the lowest that I could find for the type of representation that I required. If I ever need to be represented by an attorney I would surely use Mr. Hoffman again. C. Wright
